"Leo! Let him go!" Piper demanded, but he seemed to block out her
words.
"You know that your not allowed to travel through time!" Leo said to his son who was gasping for air. Piper ran over and began to pry Leo's hands off Chris's neck. When her strength wasn't even enough to get Leo to notice, she wet to blowing up his hand. He was an Elder, he could handle it.
Leo jumped back and cradled his bleeding hand in his other. Chris fell to the ground and his mother was by his side in an instant. Chris quickly picked himself back up so he wouldn't look weak in front of his father.
"Leo, what are you doing here?" he asked, his voice weak but he forced it to be stronger.
"I'm here to get you before you screw up the future." He said, his hand still bleeding. "Before you kill Wyatt."
"Kill Wyatt? I'm not here to kill him!" Chris yelled, obviously hurt that his father would think that.
"You expect me to believe that?"
"With all that he's done to me, you'd think I would want to kill him. Your lucky he used to be nice to me." Chris told him.
"What is trying to kill Chris gonna do?" Piper asked.
"Piper, this is none of your concern."
"He is my son! And when a father tries to kill his son, I think it's the mothers business!"
"You told her!? What else does she know?" Leo asked, outraged.
Chris looked to his feet. His father had a way of making him give in. He was never able to stand up to Leo.
Piper saw that Chris wasn't going to respond, so she took over.
"He isn't going to screw the future up in any way! All he wants to do is make it better by stopping Wyatt from becoming evil!"
"He isn't evil, he just wants magic to be open and known. Wyatt doesn't like hiding who he really is. So he brought out magic and all the humans rebelled! He is just trying to make humans understand!"
"That's bullshit!" Chris yelled. For a moment he seemed surprised that that came out of his mouth and didn't stay in his mind. "How is killing humans going to make them anymore open to magic?"
"I will not just let you fill your mothers head with lies! You are coming back to where you belong!"
"So Wyatt can kill me?"
"He won't kill you. You're his brother." Leo said simply.
"So what makes you think I would have killed Wyatt if you say Wyatt won't kill me?" The two starred down. Leo obviously didn't want to answer that, but Chris wanted to hear the answer.
"You are coming back to where you belong, right now." Leo said, his voice stern and threatening.
"I'm not finished here! I have to sty until I'm born. I'll be here another year maybe before I know that Wyatt is safe."
"You're just waiting for the sisters to let their guard down so you can kill him! I'm not going to let that happen!"
Leo formed an energy ball in his hand and fired it at Chris. But Piper flexed her hands and blew it up.
"What is wrong with you?" she yelled. How could any father want to hurt his son?
"Piper! You have to understand! Chris is confused, he only thinks Wyatt is evil!"
"How can you believe that? If he kills innocents, then he's evil!" Piper couldn't understand. Leo was always the one that could see what was really going on before anyone else, and here he was blinded for the love of his son. But he had another son as well, a son that he should be listening to more.
Chris flicked his hands and the crystals came out of their box and formed a circle around Leo. Light then formed around him, trapping him in a magical cage.
"That should keep his still while we get the sisters and send him back to the future." He told his mother and then went down the stairs. Piper sparred one final glance at Leo. He looked tired and old, older then what he should be. She found that she pitied him. He was stuck in the lie that his son was still the good little boy that he once was. He just couldn't let himself believe otherwise.
Piper followed her son down the stairs to see that he was already on the phone, talking to Paige who, seconds later, orbed into the room. Phoebe was next. Paige had to orb over to get her, but Phoebe had told her boss that she was going to work at home for the rest of the day.
Paige smiled and acted fine, but her eyes did hold sadness. She was trying to block it out, telling herself that everything was fine. Just like Leo was doing.
"So, what is this about Leo being in a cage?" Phoebe asked.
"Future Leo decided to pay me a little visit. Its time for him to go home now." Chris explained the condensed version.
---Attic---
Leo stood in his magic cage, cursing himself for allowing this to happen. He had to get out. He had to stop Chris.
"Wyatt." He called, silent enough so no one else could hear. "Wyatt, its daddy. I need your help." A small two-year-old quickly orbed to his father's aid.
"Theres my good boy." Leo said with a smile. "Can you let daddy out?" Wyatt flicked his finger and the crystals moved away, with them gone, the cage collapsed. Leo went over and picked up his son.
"Yeah, I knew I could count on you. Come on, let's on a walk. You want to go on a walk?" Leo was happy to see his son so small and cute again. But he couldn't leave him here where Chris could get to him, not with the sisters so trusting of him. He orbed away to find a safe place for himself and his son.
"I thought Elders didn't age." Piper asked Chris, remembering his face.
"Well, Elders don't. But when Leo went on Wyatt's side, he turned evil. Or as evil that you can get without admitting that you're evil. And, there cant be evil Elders. His powers were taken away and he was made human. Wyatt couldn't have a human working for him, so he gave him some potion. Leo had all sorts of powers then."
"Oh."
"And how are we going to send Leo back to the future?" Phoebe asked.
Chris dug around in his pocket and pulled out a crumpled up sheet of yellow paper.
"With the spell that brought him here in the first place. We just tweak it a bit and throw him through a portal."
"Wait. If that's the spell, then how does Wyatt have it?"
Chris shrugged. "He must have made a new one. He's powerful enough." They walked up the stairs and opened the door to see the crystals out of their place and Leo gone.
"Oh shit." Chris said with an annoyed sigh.
A/N: Thank you so much to all for your wonderful reviews!! They make me very very happy. And, I am sorry about the tittle. I cannot spell for the life of me! But, I don't think its that big of a deal. Unless someone is one of those freaky people who cant stand those sorts of things and in that case, I'm sorry.
"You know that your not allowed to travel through time!" Leo said to his son who was gasping for air. Piper ran over and began to pry Leo's hands off Chris's neck. When her strength wasn't even enough to get Leo to notice, she wet to blowing up his hand. He was an Elder, he could handle it.
